Companionship

Companionship is social and emotional support — a reliable person who spends time with your loved one, keeps them engaged, and checks that all is well.

What it is

Companionship is social and emotional support — a reliable person who spends time with your loved one, keeps them engaged, and checks that all is well.

What a visit can include

  • Conversation and company
  • Games, hobbies and activities

Companionship is available wherever Elaine has certified supply. It is live in the Lima & Allen County area today, and turns on in each new area as caregivers come online.

Common questions

Does companionship require a certification?

No. Companionship does not require an STNA or CNA, though every caregiver is still identity-verified and background-checked.

Can one visit include companionship and homemaking?

Yes, when both are requested and the caregiver offers them.
